SUMMER SADIE
Nothing -- and I mean nothing -- beats running through the sprinklers on a summer day.
It's almost enough to make you forget that in 6 months we'll be waist-deep in frozen water.

Shhhh. ARTISTS AT WORK.

Rodin, eat your heart out.
(But don't eat the Play-doh. It may be non-toxic, but it wreaks havoc on your guts.)

SEPARATED AT BIRTH?

Here I am with my Grandma and Grandpa's dog (aka: my Aunt Saskia). I understand that there exists a measurable amount of sibling rivalry between her and my mom, but that has not affected my relationship with Saskia. We get along very well. Except when I run after her screaming "AHAHAHAHEEEEEEEEE!" Saskia's not so fond of that.

MY DINNER (lunch) WITH ANDRE (Dorothy)

THE BIG POUT

Still just a work in progress. I'll let you know when I've mastered it.

JUST ANOTHER CHICAGO DAY.

Taking care of business...


Hanging out under The El...



Dealing with angry motorists...


And taking a break from the hustle and bustle.
